PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cosmetic apparatus which can suck a keratotic plug while warming up the skin.SOLUTION: The skin is warmed up by radio frequency (RF) current applied through RF electrodes 21 and 22. Since the RF current can warm up a deep part of the skin including a keratotic plug and a follicle at a relatively high speed, it is suitable for melting the keratotic plug. By driving a pump 13 simultaneously with the supply of RF current, air in a suction nozzle 18 is sucked to suck the skin including the keratotic plug and the follicle to a suction port 19 side inside the suction nozzle 18. Here, the RF electrodes 21 and 22 are fit into a fitting hole 18a of the suction nozzle 18 so as to cover the periphery of the sucked skin. Thus, suction force at least for sucking the keratotic plug out of the follicle can be secured without obstructing the suction of the skin through the suction port 19 by the RF electrodes 21 and 22. In addition to the cosmetic effect by warming and sucking, a keratotic plug can be sucked out. |
